A British call, it was a call used to indicate that the gates of various fort/camps were to be closed an you had better get back quick! Initiated primarily for British colonial units.

FYI, this tune "Sunset" is played in Canada (and perhaps elsewhere) in the eveneing when the flag is being lowered. At any Canadian Armed Forces base, when you are n earshot of this tune, or in eyeshot of the flag being lowered, you face the flag and salute if weaing appropriate head dress.
